COLUMBUS, Ohio- The Ohio Department of Health released information about the state's first child flu death of the season on Wednesday.

Riley says so far there as been no outbreak or increases in flu cases at any of the Charlotte County Schools.

The numbers are also up across the state.

"Flu is hard to predict", said ODH Medical Director Dr. Clint Koenig.

On Monday, the number of people seeking care at the John Peter Smith Hospital Emergency Department reached 400, up from 321 on January 1. The other type of vaccine - called "trivalent" because it covers three strains of flu - "unfortunately" doesn't cover that B strain.

The South has been suffering with flu for several weeks, and it may have peaked there, she said. According to the Denton County Public Health Department, officials have 2,000 vaccine doses in stock.

Influenza is so rampant in North Texas that Dallas Methodist Hospital is actually having to turn away patients with non-severe cases of the illness.
